A political face-off intensifies after TMC MPs Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan Banerjee alleged attack, with INDIA bloc leaders closing ranks in support. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi called it an "attack on democracy", while Akhilesh Yadav termed it an example of political violence. The BJP has strongly denied any role, saying the incident reflects "public anger", not organised action. With both sides trading serious charges, the Sonarpur episode has escalated into a full-blown political showdown.
